    Ruiz should be off as well, he's a complete fraud. I wouldn't even have him as a top 30 fighter of 2000-2010.

    Wlad is clearly 1. Look at the list he beat 4,5,8,11 and 14. As well as all the guys listed as possible replacements.

    I
    Wlad has a better resume,but he had been koed bad 2 times, and imo has no chance against the vitali of lennox fight.

    1. Valuev
    2. Vitali
    3. Tua
    4. Lewis
    5. Brewster
    6. Puritty
    7. McCline
    8. Haye
    9. Peters
    10. Maskaev


    11. Rahman
    12. Ibragimov
    13. Sanders
    14. Wladimir
    15. Byrd


    Anyone of the opinion that I underrated Wolodimir here, remember that Sanders and Brewster #1 and also Peters #1 and Davaryl Williamson happened during the topic's time frame.
    That just added to Wolodimir's soft (compared to Abdul Aziz, Holmes and Lewis) fouling.

    Oquendo out. Golota out. Ibragimov in. Adamek in. Haye downgraded from spot #8. Move Povetkin up a few spots. Move Toney out ( Busted for Roids ) and add Valuev.

    hasim rahman @ #4 is too high.

    Wlad has to be #1

    alexander povetkin is too low @ #9

    andrew golota was garbagge after the Bowe fight

    I don't Vitali should rate above Wladimir. And in my book it has nothing to do with who thinks would win in a hypothetical head to head match. For one thing, Vitali was absent for four years during the proposed time frame mentioned. For another, Wlad established himself as a lineal claimant and beat far more rated opponents. You could say that he had some bad losses, but I don't think Vitali did enough to surpass him regardless. Wlad's record from 2000-2010 was 24-2 while Vitali's during that same stretch was 14-2.

    Oquendo is underrated,.he was robbed in at least two title fights.
    Maybe i could change ibragimov /golota, altought i dont see solid names in sultan record and in my view golota deserved the victory vs byrd and ruiz
    Adamek isnt in my top 30 . He.was good at cruiserweight not heavy. He has some stolen victories. Do you think povetkin is better than haye?00/10 ppvetkin version.

    Valuev??? The same who robbed t donald,old holy,ruiz?are you joking me???.

    Give me your top 15.
    wladimir 2010 vs vitali (lennox fight) who takes the victory?
    i put povetkin in number 9 cause this was until 2010.
    I know golota was garbage ever, he lost a lot of BIG fights, but i ranked him cause i thought he won vs byrd and ruiz, but now i think he doesnt deserve to be top 15.
